DRIVING ELIGIBILITY. Whenever an employee drives a vehicle for City business he or she shall have a valid California driver’s license. In order to ascertain the validity of the employee's license, employees must present their driver’s license to their supervisor upon request. The City reserves the right to check at any time with the Department of Motor Vehicles to determine if an employee’s license is valid. If an employee's driver’s license is revoked, suspended or otherwise made invalid, the employee must inform his or her supervisor. Failure to notify the supervisor may result in immediate disciplinary action. An employee who does not possess a valid California driver’s license will be considered for a non- driving position if one is available in the employee's classification. The non-driving assignment will continue for a maximum of six-months if there is a reasonable expectation the employee will have a valid California driver’s license at the expiration of that time. Extensions to the six-month limit will be considered on a case-by-case basis, however, in no case shall an employee receive more than one non-driving assignment in any three-year period. When no non-driving assignment is available, employees must request a leave of absence without pay for six-months or until such time as their license is once again valid, whichever is shorter. Time in non-driving assignments and leaves of absences shall be combined when calculating the six month period. In order to assure that non-driving assignments are provided on a fair and equitable basis, the following procedures shall be observed: A. Each department will determine whether it has any non-driving assignments that can be filled by employees who would otherwise have driving assignments. B. Non-driving assignments will be given on a first come, first served basis. For example, if two employees in a department have non-valid driver’s licenses and there is only one non-driving assignment, the first employee who comes forward will be given the non-driving assignment. The other employee may apply for a leave of absence as described above.
